The C8 Z06 with Z07 package is ready to run with the hypercars. Our exclusive instrumented testing proves it!
Most of us were badly smitten by this latest Corvette, marveling at its high grip-limits and benign, generally understeering behavior as you approach them."Shockingly approachable for something with such high limits," said deputy editor Alex Stoklosa of the Z06/Z07. Such a combination quickly builds confidence and corner entry speeds.
It has beautifully crafted, well-placed shift paddles on the wheel, but the eight-speed twin-clutch transmission's shift programming is so astute you won't need them—except maybe to call for gratuitous downshifts in tunnels to let the center-exit exhaust rip.This is a big car, especially next to the Porsches folks forever compare it with. That's how it accommodates 12.6 cubic feet of luggage and can store its roof onboard.
But doing so will erode one of the Corvette Z06's biggest advantages: the comfort it provides when the red mist and adrenaline subside. Set the Magnetic Ride Control shocks to Tour mode, and the comfort surpasses almost any other supercar or hypercar you can name, making this an exotic that would be as enjoyable to drive across country as it is fun to drive at a destination like Tail of the Dragon. Get one before demand closes the price gap with those other supercars.
